tract except with defendant, and in
cross examination OF defendant, under

obliged to answer explicit questions as 10
improper intercourse with plaintiff, in

nomb Pound In the Debris.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 4.-Ohicers Stone
and Palmer, detailed TO watch the ruins Of
the. Fourteenth street explosion, while
walking over the debris last night at 1890
o'clock, unearthed an iron semi-spherc
which, on examination, proved to be the
remains Of dynamite bomb. The infer
nal machine was carried 10 police head
quarters, and the cause Of the explosion
again reverted TO the dynamite theory, the
rank and file Of the police seeing absolute
proof Of ficnd's work in the latest dis
covery. The detectives, however were
mistaken in their belief that the catastro-
phe was purely accidental, as they can
find no motive for the deed, and the bomb
was found among the debris that had been
carefully oycrhaulcd the day before. They
are open in their assertions that the bomb
was placed there yesterday 10y some OF the
scnsationalists who have been writing let
tens TO the police and newspapers declaring
that they were given 500 Ia "do the Job. ~
Already half dozen cranks have sent ~
many letters 10 each Of the -. Louis papers
claiming that they were the agents Of u
horrible crime. As the fund for clearing
away the wreck had run out yesterday
mo rning. there wen no workmen about
the ruins all day, and there was ample OPP
portunIiy To leave the shell. The coroner
will hold an inquest Monday.
Intcr-Thc metal semi-sphcrc found
IN the cellar at the scene Of the explosion,
supposed 10 have been a bomb, was the
bulb Of hanging lamp. There is M
ground for believing the catastrophe to
have been n iicnd's work.

A DEMENTED GAMBLER.
he Kills His Wife, Child, Brother-in
Law, and Then Hangs Himself.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. A terrible
tragedy was enac cd in the western portion
OF this city last night, the awful results Of
which were not discovered until 10 o'clock
this morning AT that hour Mrs. Mary
Bruner, the mother of Mrs. Charles b..
Browneld, who lives at No 1922 West
Chestnut street, called at the residence OF
her daughter upon some matters connected
with family affairs. No one answered her
ring at the door-bell, and after several in
etiectual efforts she went TO the window OF
the little one story frame cottage, raised it
and threw open the shutters. The sight
that met her eyes was horrible beyond
description. In the middle of the door
opening between the room occupied
by her daughter and husband and
their little daughter of eight or ten
years, and occupied by William +. Bru-
ncr, brother OF Mrs. Charles Brownfeld,
who resided with the family, was the body
OF Charles b Brownfield, her daughters
husband, suspended by a strap attached to
the Intel, and swaying to and fro slightly,
the features CHASTITY in death She
aroused the neighbors, who made the fol
lowing horrible discoveries, At the sui
cide's back, and on u bed in dark cor
ner, reposed the body of William +. Bru-
ner with his th,oat cut from car to ear
Facing the self-murderer, in the other
room, was another bed, upon which, stiff
fencd in their blood, were the forms of his
wife and nine year old child. Their heads
were almost severed from their bodies. Be-
meath Brownfeld's feet lay the razor with
which the awful deeds had been commit
ted. The bed-clothing was drenched with
blood and the faces of the victims be-
smeared so that they were almost beyond
recognition. On the bureau in the parlor
the following letter. dated $50 o'clock a.
m, and written by the murderer in an
unusually legible hand, was found:
To an whom II may concern:

and suicide, was twenty-seven years Of age,

lie was drummer for the shoe firm of
lngals 4 Boyles, and was always known as
sober and industrious young man. Six
years ago he married Miss Alice Bruncr,
the daughter OF Mrs. Mary Bruner. He
seemed particularly fond Of his wife and
little son, Harold, and spent his evenings
and spare time at home in their company.
People who knew them say they never
heard of him saying cross word to his
wife, and he fairly idoized his child who
was always on his knee while he was at
home.

There are many superstitions in regard

BEECHER's SUCCESSOR.
An English Clergyman To Be Called to
the Plymouth Pulpit

New York, Nov. 4.-Thc Tribune saws;
at is virtually settled that the Rev.
Charles A. Berry, of Wolycrhampton, Eng.
land, is TO be called to Plymouth church
as its pastor The advisory committee OF
the church, having charge Of tn, subject
OF successor to Mr.. Bccchcr met last
evening and unanimously voted TO recon-.
mend the selection Of Mr. Berry. While
this docs not bind the church. there is lit
tie doubt but that the choice of the com.
mittee will be ratified, inasmuch rs the
sentiment IN the church is strongly set in
the same direction, SO strongly. indeed.
that the committees action is virtually
dictated 10y the universally expressed dc.
sire.
THE remarkable feature oi Mr.. Berry :
preaching has been an acccptahlity ~ all.
and the action of the advisory committee,
Is simply recognition oi the fact that
the approval Of Mr.. Berry is unanimous
and enthusiastic There is no divided
sentiment, and some OF the members have
been almost afraid to let Mr.. Berry get ont
OF the country without being called. 81
lar ~ his pulpit presence and uttrranccs
are concerned, the satisfaction of the con
grcgaiion was complete, lie showed
clearly that his thinking was strongly in
the lines and in the direction Of Mr..
Beechers, while there was not the slight
est indication of initiating Mr.. Bccchcr.
This was great pleasure TO the congregl.
ton, for what was most decidedly not
wanted in Mr.. Beechcr's SUCCESSOR, who.
ever he might be-, was nm attempted mita.

church recognized gratefully il has had,
